Isn't the approach different in different fields? I remember reading about recent advanced papers in mathematics that have been published but then left "in the void" a little bit because it took such a long time for peers to actually read, understand and try to challenge the proofs.


And when the proofs become terabytes of data produced by a program, and the reviewer has to write another program just to verify that the proof is sound, it's going to become intractable.

Maybe we should encourage it financially. Like bug bounties.
